- Statement
- Using Python on Windows, section 4.2: the embeddable package is a ZIP file with a minimal Python environment intended to act as part of another application rather than to be accessed directly by end users. Third-party packages should be installed by the application installer and treated as part of the application ("vendoring"). The redistributing vendor therefore owns the licence notices for CPython and every vendored package. (page undated; as published on 2026-09-27)
